LEFT REAR WINDOW FELL WITH A LOUD BANG. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD AND GARAGED. MILEAGE AROUND 30,000. DEALER FIXED IT FOR A CHARGE OF $550.00. I HAVE BEEN ON LINE AND FIND THAT THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM BECAUSE OF DEFECT IN THE WINDOW CONTROLLER. THIS IS A DEFECT AND IT IS WRONG FOR CUSTOMERS TO BE SADDLED FINANCIALLY WITH THIS ISSUE.

AFTER PUTTING MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOWN COMPLETELY, IT WILL NOT GO BACK UP. THE MOTOR RUNS, IT MAKES A SOUND, BUT WINDOW DOES NOT MOVE. I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE MY CAR PARKED IN A MEDICAL CENTER PARKING GARAGE DURING MY WORK SHIFT 4:00PM TO 12:00AM. OF COURSE, IT WAS COMPLETELY UNSAFE FOR ME, A YOUNG FEMALE, TO RETURN TO MY OPEN CAR AND HAD TO BE ESCORTED BY A SECURITY OFFICER. I THEN DROVE THE 25 FREEWAY MILES HOME COMPLETELY EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS. HAVING GOOGLED THE MALFUNCTION, I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. I AM ASTOUNDED TO ALSO LEARN THAT CHRYSLER DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE. AS A COLLEGE STUDENT, I AM NOT FINANCIALLY ABLE TO INCUR THIS EXPENSE, NOR DO I THINK I SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO, AND AM ASKING THAT CHRYSLER PERFORM REPAIRS ON ALL FOUR WINDOWS AT NOT COST TO ME. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

OVER THE COURSE OF THE NINE YEARS I HAVE OWNED THIS LIBERTY, EACH OF THE 4 POWER WINDOWS HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES.THE WINDOWS SIMPLY FALL DOWN FREELY WITHOUT WARNING, AND CAN NOT BE PLACED BACK IN AN UPRIGHT, CLOSED POSITION. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE ON EACH FRONT WINDOW, AND ON EACH THE LEFT/REAR AND RIGHT REAR WINDOWS IT HAS HAPPENED THREE SEPARATE TIMES. THOUGH THIS IS AN ONGOING AND KNOWN SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUE, THERE HAS BEEN NO SERVICE BULLETIN OR RECALL AS FAR AS I KNOW. CHRYSLER/JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND LOCAL DEALER ARE UNWILLING TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM OR COVER THE REPAIRS. JEEP QUOTES US OVER $600 FOR THE REPAIR BEFORE REDUCING THE ESTIMATES, DUE ONLY TO MY PERSISTENT COMPLAINTS. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT BROUGHT BY OTHERS ON THIS VERY ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE WINDOW REGULATORS BREAK IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED 3 OF THEM AT LEAST TWICE. I HAVE REPLACED ON ONCE, WHICH IS THE ONLY ONE I DID NOT HAVE REPLACED BY CHRYSLER. IT IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS NOT BROKEN AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP OUT IN ANY WAY TO PAY FOR THESE. IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALLED PART, AND THEY NEED TO MAKE A PART THAT WILL ACTUALLY NOT BREAK. MY SMALL CHILD HAS TO RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT WITH A WINDOW DOWN, MY VEHICLE IS OPEN FOR ANYONE TO JUST GET INTO MY VEHICLE AT ANY TIME, AND ANY TIME IT RAINS, SNOWS, ANYTHING ELSE I GET ALL TYPE OF WEATHER IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RECEIVED TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM CHRYSLER . *TR

THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FAILED TO GO UP AFTER I HAD LOWERED IT A LITTLE BIT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS WINDOW HAS HAD THIS ISSUE AND WILL BE THE FIFTH TIME I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE SINCE 2006. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DODGE / JEEP / CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY TOLD ME THE WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER VALID, IN OTHER WORDS IT EXPIRED IN MARCH OF 2014 AND I WOULD NOW BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR ANY WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE TO REPAIR THIS WINDOW ISSUE. THIS DEALERSHIP DOES HAVE MY PRIOR RECORDS ON FILE IN THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM OF THE 4 PREVIOUS TIMES I'VE BEEN THERE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE REPAIRED AS WELL. *TR

THE LIFT PLATES ON ALL SIDE WINDOWS OF JEEP LIBERTY VEHICLES CAN BE DEFECTIVE. THE WINDOW WILL UNEXPECTEDLY COMPLETELY DROP DOWN. CHRYSLER CORPORATION ACCEPTS THE FACT THERE ARE WINDOW DEFECTIVE LIFT PLATES. THEY EXTENDED THE VEHICLE WARRANTY TO REPLACE THE LIFT PLATE PARTS IF THEY FAIL. TO MY KNOWLEDGE CHRYSLER CORPORATION DID NOT NOTIFY OWNERS ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE PARTS OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I FOUND THIS INFORMATION OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR WINDOW REPAIR AT THE JEEP CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP (THE FARICY BOYS CHRYSLER, JEEP) ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2013. CHRYSLER KNEW ALL THE SIDE WINDOW PARTS WERE DEFECTIVE, BUT WOULD ONLY REPLACE THE WINDOW LIFT PLATES THAT WERE NOT WORKING ON THAT DAY. ANOTHER SIDE WINDOW LIFT PLATE ON THE SAME VEHICLE FAILED ON MAY 30, 2013. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND A WINDOW COMPLETELY DROPS DOWN IT CAN STARTLE THE DRIVER AND IS A DISTRACTION THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR AT THE JEEP CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THE COST OF REPAIR NEEDED TO BE PAID BY THE OWNER. IN SUMMARY, CHRYSLER CORPORATION KNEW THE SIDE WINDOW LIFT PLATES ARE DEFECTIVE, BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE ALL THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO ORDER A MANDATORY RECALL AND REQUIRE CHRYSLER TO FIX ALL WINDOW LIFT PLATES ON THE JEEP LIBERTIES. A DEFECTIVE LIFT PLATE CAN CAUSE THE WINDOW TO UNEXPECTEDLY DROP DOWN AND CAN PRESENT DRIVER CONFUSION AND A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAN PRESENT A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO THE HEALTH AND LIFE OF AMERICANS. THANK YOU. *TR
